Printed on acid-free paper Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Nowadays, Manufacturing Engineering is defined as a discipline “which involves the ability to plan the processes and practices of manufacturing and to research and develop systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment for producing quality products”. Manufacturing is the “art” of transformation of materials into products. Fundamental subjects of manufacturing engineering include: materials technology, forming and sheet metal working, traditional and non-traditional machining, joining and assembly processes, automation and manufacturing systems, green and lean manufacturing, etc. The purpose of this book is to present a collection of examples illustrating research in “Modern Manufacturing Engineering”. Chapter 1 of the book provides submicro- and nanostructuring of materials by severe plastic deformation. Chapter 2 is dedicated to cross rolling (a metal forming process). Chapter 3 describes a finite element method in machining processes. Chapter 4 contains information about machining and machining modelling of metal matrix composites. Chapter 5 contains information about intelligent CNC tool path optimization for sculptured surface machining through virus-evolutionary genetic algorithm. Chapter 6 is dedicated to friction stir welding: (scope and recent developments). Chapter 7 describes innovative joining technologies based on tube. Chapter 8 contains information about lean manufacturing. Chapter 9 provides object-based final-yea
